Aid airdrops into Gaza begin as Israeli military confirms pauses in bombing
Briefly

A daily pause in military activity in three areas of Gaza, from 10am to 8pm, is aimed at facilitating the delivery of humanitarian aid. The Israeli military plans to establish secure routes for convoys delivering food and medicine from 6am to 11pm. In a significant step, Jordan and UAE have airdropped 25 tons of aid to Gaza. Reports indicate that malnutrition is causing widespread suffering, with recent health ministry updates revealing at least 133 deaths related to hunger, including many children.
Israeli military operations will pause daily from 10am to 8pm in certain Gaza areas to facilitate aid, with designated secure routes for convoys established from 6am to 11pm.
Jordan and the United Arab Emirates conducted their first airdrop of 25 tons of aid into Gaza in months, although officials emphasized that air delivery is not a substitute for land delivery.
At least 17 people were killed by Israeli firing while waiting for aid trucks, and health officials reported 133 deaths due to malnutrition in recent weeks, including 87 children.
UN aid chief Tom Fletcher stated that efforts would be intensified during the pauses to reach those starving in the affected humanitarian areas in Gaza.
